Avast keep detecting malware in chrome
« on: December 30, 2023, 03:13:01 AM »
Hi!!! I have just clean installed my windows, after installation, I installed Avast right away. Then Avast prompted me to install chrome, right away after installation it keeps warning of malware since. It's becoming annoying. How can I get rid of it? Nothing is detected when I do scanning.

A screenshot of the Avast Alert with the Details option selected might help.
Is this Chrome or the Avast Secure Browser a chrome based browser ?

Presumably you aren't trying to connect to the site  ?

If not start by clearing your browser cache and cookies, including 3rd party cookies and restart your browser.
If that resolves it you should be good to go.
If it doesn't try running your browser with add-ons disabled.

If that resolves it, have you added or updated any add-ons ?
If so try disabling that add-on - and restart and try again.
